Where These Pieces Drop
8 of this set's 31 pieces drop from 5 encounters in Throne of Thunder. The rest come from vendors, quests, crafting or world drops, which the dungeon journal does not record.
5 bosses in Throne of Thunder drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
When Pandaria separated from Kalimdor many thousands of years ago, a veil of mist kept outsiders from discovering the newly-formed continent. The mists also hid a reminder of an ancient evil: Lei Shen's Throne of Thunder. During his rule, this fortress was the seat of the Thunder King's power. Even after his death, great swathes of corrupted energy lingered, and now, the resurrected Thunder King and the Zandalari trolls intend to harness that energy to establish the reign of Lei Shen once again.
The entrance is in Isle of Thunder at 63.8, 32.1 (/way #504 63.8 32.1).

Jin'rokh the Breaker drops 2 pieces of this set (Legs, Shoulder) on Looking For Raid. Adventure Guide map pin: 59.5, 25.6 on the Throne of Thunder map. When the Thunder King awoke, he rewarded the most loyal and ambitious Zandalari trolls with power beyond their wildest dreams. The berserker Jin'rokh was one of the first to receive the King's blessing, and even though Lei Shen's gifts nearly tore his body apart, the troll is now capable of calling the fury of the storm in battle.
Council of Elders drops 1 piece of this set (Head) on Looking For Raid. Adventure Guide map pin: 50.0, 19.1 on the Throne of Thunder map. The history of the troll tribes -- the Drakkari, the Farraki, the Amani, and the Gurubashi -- is awash with millennia of betrayal and conflict, but the Zandalari's promise of a new, unstoppable empire has finally united these disparate troll leaders.
Tortos drops 2 pieces of this set (Wrist, Feet) on Looking For Raid. Adventure Guide map pin: 31.6, 82.1 on the Throne of Thunder map. Over the millennia, small amounts of mogu flesh-shaping magic seeped into the caverns below the Thunder King's citadel. The dark energies warped one of the chamber's native dragon turtles, melding it to the surrounding crystalline walls. Known as Tortos, this amalgamation of flesh and stone has since feasted on the cave's rich mineral deposits and grown to a colossal size.
Durumu the Forgotten drops 1 piece of this set (Chest) on Looking For Raid. Adventure Guide map pin: 71.1, 34.0 on the Throne of Thunder map. Lei Shen commanded his sorcerers to mold an aberration that could peer into the hearts of his followers and detect betrayal. From this decree, Durumu was given life. The clever entity stubbornly obeyed its masters until the Thunder King's death, at which time it disappeared into the citadel's labyrinthine corridors. Only recently has Durumu, all but forgotten by the mogu, emerged from hiding.
Primordius drops 2 pieces of this set (Wrist, Hands) on Looking For Raid. Adventure Guide map pin: 57.3, 78.3 on the Throne of Thunder map. Deep within the bowels of Lei Shen's island citadel, mogu flesh-shapers formed the saurok out of a magical substance of unknown origin. When the citadel was abandoned, some experiments languished in the dark pools for far too long....
